Swallow in a dream
In folk belief, a swallow in a dream is a herald of spring, happiness at home and the return of someone dear.
Few birds are as dear to folk tradition as the swallow: wherever it builds its nest, luck is believed to follow the house. So a dream of a swallow is counted a very lovely sign. It brings spring in every sense: new beginnings, warmer relationships and word from someone who is traveling. A low-flying swallow is said to announce rain, and in a dream a mild change of mood. Wake up without a care, because this is a dream of hope.
